1984 is a perfect and accurate recount of what really happened in that year. The governments just don't want to let you know it. I loved that piece of non-fiction and especially enjoyed the intense scenes as they are a part of history today as we know it. History has now changed and retold!

who told you that?
saying 1984 is about relationships is like saying Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas is about the american dream, that's just crazy talking.

You want to say it's NOT about a relationship? Or it's NOT about relationships? Or not JUST about relationships?

1984 is what happens when liberals are elected. You should read it to arm yourself against the Obama administration.

Remember, Ministry of truth. Always altering what we 'know' now. This IS the real deal. The real history of 1984. So obviously this mirrors somewhat of what's occurring now. ie with Ministry of truth. 1984 is 1984.

It is, as Derrida says in regardance to his mode of analysis - 'deconstruction', easier to say what 1984 isn't, than what it is.

Par example, c'est n'est pas a robot, a steamboat, Animal Farm or William Makepeace Thackeray.

I hope that helped, Sir OP.

>animal farm
1984 is animal farm as two mirrors reflecting eachother/their selves
>Thackeray
This text is not thackeray..you are correct
